I'm honestly really confused about the specific role docker is playing here.
What, exactly, is Docker doing? Is it compiling the application? Is it making a runtime for the wasm binary? Is it being the runtime for the wasm binary, so the end user builds through whatever usual build processes and gets a binary they can then easily run?
If the wasm binary is lightweight and portable, why is docker useful?
